Notes Regarding Colorado’s Revised Certificate of Live Birth These tables contain Colorado birth data that were collected using the 1989 Revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth (unrevised) and the 2003 Revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth (revised)1,2,3. Colorado’s birth registration system used the unrevised certificate for births through calendar year 2006; while births in 2007 through the present were registered using the revised certificate. Among the differences in the revised birth certificate are changes to the following data items:

– Mother’s and father’s race, captures multiple race identification instead of single race identification

– Mother’s and father’s education, captures highest degree attained instead of total years of education

– Mother’s marital status at time of birth, captures never married, married, widowed, separated, and divorced instead of just married or unmarried

– Cigarette smoking before and during pregnancy, captures levels of smoking in each trimester instead of just smoking any time during pregnancy

And the addition of the following data items:

– Method of delivery includes fetal presentation and trial of labor prior to cesarean delivery – Pre-pregnancy weight, weight at delivery and height, used to calculate Body Mass Index – Congenital anomalies, certain conditions have been added or removed – Fertility therapy – Did mother get WIC food for herself during this pregnancy – Infections during pregnancy – Maternal morbidity – Breast feeding – Principal source of payment for the delivery

Data items noted above that were collected using both the unrevised certificate and the revised certificate are not directly comparable. Analyses of birth data for time periods that include both revised and unrevised data should be performed with caution. To facilitate analyses of births by race, the multiple race identification in revised certificates has been bridged back to a single race using a system developed by the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention4. Please note, however, that there has been an increase in the number of births reported with “other” or “unknown” maternal and paternal race and/or Hispanic ethnicity beginning in 2007 compared to previous years. This is likely attributable to the change to the revised certificate. The Health Statistics and Evaluation Branch at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is available to assist with further analyses of these data, as well as to answer questions one might have regarding the revised certificate and the affected data items. For further information or assistance, please contact the Health Statistics and Evaluation Branch at (303) 692-2160 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Notes Regarding Colorado’s Area-Based Poverty Estimates Poverty continues to be an important factor that increases the risk of adverse birth outcomes, disease, and mortality across all ages. The relationships between poverty and such outcomes are unsurprising given the socioeconomic differences in health behaviors, familial and other risk factors, access to appropriate prenatal and preventive health care and treatment for illness and disease. Consequently, considering poverty when exploring changes in the health status of Colorado’s communities and the persistence of health disparities by poverty status are increasingly important1,2,3. These summary tables now contain counts and proportions of births and deaths by area-based poverty status of place of residence. Area-based poverty status represents the percentage of the population in the census tract of residence living at or below the federal poverty level. Place of residence is based on the maternal self-reported residence address at the time of an infant’s birth for birth statistics, and the residence address of decedent at the time of death, collected from next of kin, for death statistics. Census tracts of residence are determined by linking these addresses to their respective census tracts as defined by the 2010 U.S. Census-designated boundaries. The percentage of the population in a census tract living at or below the federal poverty level of census tracts is ascertained from the most current 5-Year American Community Survey estimates made available by the U.S. Census Bureau. Colorado consists of 1,249 unique census tracts, which are formal sub-county geographic areas defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, confined by county boundaries, and typically represent between 1,200 and 8,000 people. Counties with large populations, such as in the state’s large metropolitan areas, contain many census tracts; while counties with smaller populations, such as in the state’s rural and mountain regions, may have only a couple of census tracts4. Area-based poverty status is measured by calculating the percent of the population in each census tract that is living at or below the federal poverty level. Whether one is living at or below the federal poverty level is determined using a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size, age and composition5. Categories used for these reports include 0-9.9%, 10-19.9%, 20-29.9% and 30% of the population or greater living at or below the federal poverty level. The map on the following page depicts census tract boundaries for Colorado and its largest metropolitan areas and each census tract’s poverty status. Note that for some less populous counties with few census tracts, a single area-based poverty status category may represent most or all of the county. The Health Statistics and Evaluation Branch at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is available to assist with further analyses of these data, as well as to answer questions one might have regarding these novel vital statistics measures.
